[quote=Anonymous][/quote] Previous posters are correct that if you live in one neighborhood but the IEP dictates a different placement, your child can be bussed to the other placement. [b]However, autism programs are all currently certificate programs and students who attend the autism programs are not seeking a HS diploma. [/b]I know high school is a long way off but that's the decision that is made year after year when considering programs/placement. If your child is only one year behind I'm not certain I would want to remove him from the opportunity to work towards a diploma at this time. Check out xminds.org for program descriptions. Maybe he needs a ton of support in his home school and or maybe he needs a slightly smaller setting like a Learning Center. [/quote]

It is 100% not true that all autism programs in MCPS are certificate programs and students in the programs are not seeking a HS diploma.   Says parent of a HS student in the Autism Connections program (f/k/a the Aspergers program).       There is a range of programs, OP -- good luck with your research.          [/quote]
